The merchant master named Xiu Xiang showed great respect upon learning that the Divine Blood awakened in Li Yi came from a deity that had fallen in the Northern Wasteland, and he enthusiastically invited Li Yi to share a carriage, even calling for a beautiful concubine to accompany them.
However, this kind of treatment made Li Yi feel as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles. He was not from this world and feared that talking too long would arouse suspicion and bring disaster, so he only wanted to exchange greetings and make small talk before excusing himself and leaving.
But the merchant master was very enthusiastic and had servants bring all kinds of exotic fruits and delicacies, as well as fine wines, to entertain Li Yi.
